High impact information on esterase

  • The ges-1 esterases from the two nematodes are 83% identical at the amino acid level and contain regions of significant similarity to insect and mammalian esterases; these conserved regions can be identified with residues believed to be necessary for esterase function [1].
  • The enhanced peroxidase and esterase activities may play a role in the lignification of cell walls, which assists in the resistance to penetration by the nematode [2].
